Sy Parrish, lonely middle aged man who has worked for One Hour Photo lab for 20 years is getting obsessed of the Yorkin family, especially the wife Nina and her son Jake. After an incident at work and discovering that the Yorkins are not perfect as they seem, considering himself as a part of the family, Sy decides to fix the family but not in a positive way.
A film that over the years I've come to appreciate far more than my initial viewing due to the brilliant, unforgettable effort by Robin Williams who gives one of his most haunting performances.
Without Robin Williams, 'One Hour Photo' is just another predictable B movie thriller. He's like that slow train wreck, personified, that people can't seem to take their eyes off.
Romanek's themes are every bit as distinctive as his visuals. Beyond the cleverness, the weirdness and the pristine camerawork, One Hour Photo is a sobering meditation on why we take pictures.

This immaculately made first feature from noted musicvid and commercials director Mark Romanek provides Robin Williams with one of his creepiest, atypical roles, and the comic star responds with an unusually restrained performance...

Sy's scary ordinariness is a species of acting stunt. There's no there there.

Not entirely satisfying as either a creepfest or a character study.
